A continuing education program for collections stewards that would include a six-module hands-on preservation course offered with a train-the-trainer component intended for at least 30 participants at 15 partner sites. The award would also support a nine-month post-graduate fellowship in AV preservation.

The Community-Based Preservation Education and Training is an innovative, multi-pronged, hands-on training program preparing cultural workers with videotape preservation skills via: (1) national community-based training to over 30 cultural workers; and (2) a one-year-fellowship for a post-graduate preservationist at BAVC Media. These activities will enable BAVC Media to sustainably and effectively train up future community-centered preservationists across the nation.
